Book One Trapped in the Tunnel, Released July 2021
I just wanted to tell you how much this series means to me… I am a mom of six and am an avid reader myself and love seeing my children taking after that love as well… They love Bobbsey twins and Nancy Drew and all books mystery (which they get honestly!) Last summer I was lamenting that none of those books have character depth and then I found your series and have been absolutely thrilled by it! Not only mysterious but also full of fantastic nuggets of Christian truth in a very tasteful way.
